Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Pitched fascinatingly, at times uneasily, between misery and uplift, "Mister & Pete" tells the story of an endlessly resourceful child who survives the unimaginable over one long summer.
Fresh: Dizon and Brooks are wonderfully natural actors, and their characters' bond becomes like that of brothers, with Mister looking out for Pete, at first grudgingly and ultimately with real affection.
Fresh: "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" is a moving bit of mischief and mayhem that will break your heart, give you hope, make you laugh, possibly cry.
Fresh: Tillman seems to know that we need to go home feeling hope for Mister and Pete, who, it turns out, aren't so easily defeated.

This movie made me laugh, cry and actually think! It is just wonderful and can be seen by anyone alone, with their friends or kids. It is not really R just has a little bad language but it will inspire everyone in different ways. WOW

i rented this because Michelle Obama had recently screened it at the White House and had said she would use it as a guidepost for her a new campaign. it’s an amazing movie, with a timely message and some great acting.
Love it!!!!! Must see movie
